[edit] Kaczyzm and Kaczism

I have reverted your copy and paste. If you want to move articles, please see Help:Moving a page, please use move button so that edit histories are preserved, copy&paste is not a good way to do that.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  23:34, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Please sign your messages. In the future, please follow procedures as outlined in the above pages, particulary WP:RM which is what you do in the future (dropping a request on my talk page works too :).-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  19:11, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Grad protractor.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Grad protractor.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 19:07, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your move of salwar kameez

You MOVED an article without discussing the move with anyone, and apparently did so based on your gut feeling re the "correct" transliteration. (There is no commonly accepted method of transliteration for Hindustani/Hindi/Urdu.) WP tries to use the most common term. Salwar kameez is the most common term, as you can see by googlehits:

  • Salwar kameez, 580,000
  • Salwar kamiz 15,000

Please do not do anything like this again. Zora 21:15, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Saree was analogically renamed to sari. I done analogically from salwar kameez to salwar kamiz.
I don't think you are a native English speaker, Wikinger, because changing saree to sari doesn't change the pronunciation one would guess by just looking at it. (Also, sari gets 13,300,00 ghits and saree gets 1,280,00.) However, changing kameez to kamiz changes the pronunciation -- not to mention the ghits issue. You can't just move pages without consultation based on your conviction that ee should always become i. Zora 21:43, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grave (disambiguation)

Please do not disambiguate wikilinks to redirects to~disambiguation pages named "Xyz (disambiguation)", as you did in Kilogram. The redirects are there for a reason, that is to prevent unintended disambiguation. -- Petri Krohn 23:02, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
